Keeping your viewers and subscribers intact in your video is a important aspect to getting that watch time limit (4000 hours) And I'll help you to figure out your videos from my pov.
Now I'm a small content creator myself but I've noticed since I've applied these changes, my channel started to get a little more attention and give me more watch time.
First thing I would suggest is removing any intro (typically the cringy ones with the loud music and all that) start off by being kind and inviting.
Give a brief explanation of what's gonna happen in the video.
Don't ask for subs, do it somewhere in the middle with a card.
And be entertaining, you don't have to be funny but don't sound dead on the inside, make sure you're relating to the viewer in some way.
Try to stream every now and again, a constant viewer who can watch all 3 hours of your stream will give you good watch time.
AND lastly, your quality is important, try to get 1080p 60fps clearly
